I just purchased a second F12 C3E and I will be side mounting it on my Rohn
25G tower (fixed on Europe) 28' below the top (rotating C3E). The C3E came
with the boom to mast clamp and U bolts to accommodate a 2" mast. I was
wondering how most people are side mounting their fixed beams to the tower.
I oriented the tower when I poured the concrete so that two of the towers
legs lined up to point towards EU at roughly 45 degrees. Do people use
smaller u bolts with saddles to fit the Rohn legs diameter, or is mounting a
piece of angle to the tower face a good idea and then using hose clamps to
secure the boom in the angle? Comments would be appreciated. Thanks and 73,

I'm also looking for a cheap but still good WX0B stackmatch.
